Monster no Goshujin-sama

1. Return to Imperial City

One.

A dead dragon descends into the woods.

The corpse dragon rang low, as if to tell him he would be fine by now if he got here.

That was the end of the line.

Thousands of arms cut off, wings lifted, head dropped.

Originally, it was weirder not to collapse.

I guess only thoughts maintained the flesh.

"Thank you, Malvina"

"Mother..."

Express thanks with respect to the dragon who accomplished it all as he held Robbia the Cry Face in his arms.

Regardless, she's not the only one.

We were able to survive thanks to a lot of things.

"... Kudo"

The name I mouthed is bitter.

The fate of the battle that followed our escape was heard from Anton's split.

The Demon Army is wiped out.

Kudo is dead.

... Berta, who's gone, said he made his destiny the same.

In the end, I couldn't stop him.

Wasn't there something I could do more about it?

For Kudo, for Berta.

I can't help but think so.

However, one thing was told by Anton, who was sending us a split.

- Now, that's good.

- Because our king was indeed saved at the end.

That said, Anton, who was no longer able to maintain his split, disappeared.

"Your husband. Are you okay?"

"... oh"

Lily called out, so I nodded back.

I don't know the details, but I'm sure Berta did what she wanted.

Kudo's last should have been more than just despair.

For what I should have done was not grieve for their death.

"We'll take Kojiro Nakazaki."

With the help of Lily and the others, I succeeded in securing the 'cornerstone of the world', which is the essence of this world.

Thanks to Kudo, we can also leave the battlefield, and the deployment of the world to perish instantly is avoided.

Nevertheless, this is only a buy of time.

I can't bring it on.

Because there is not much respite.

……

Even at this moment, I am connected to the 'cornerstone of the world'.

There was an unpleasant discomfort, like some of the consciousness was being pulled.

It's because we're in the way so that we don't give Kojiro Nakatsuki control of the world.

However, due to fundamentally different levels, it is not possible to maintain this situation.

In fact, my whole body chills won't go away the whole time.

I felt terribly bad about it, like I was going to.

It's similar when you touch an unconscious sea, but instead of being as dramatic as it was then, you feel twitchy and intruding on the contours and it's disgusting.

If we keep this up, I'll 'lose it' sooner or later.

Before that, I had to defeat Kojiro Nakatsuki.

"To do this, the first thing to do is to return to the Imperial Capital..."

I was about to tell you, a few dragons came down to the ground.

When they turn into humans, they come running this way.

"Dear Takahiro. What the hell happened?"

It was the dragons in the dragon abyss.

Having participated in the pursuit operation, they remained apart without entering the other realm.

But when his mother, Malvina's undead, noticed that he had taken us away, he came after us.

I briefed them briefly on how confused I was.

It would not have been readily swallowable, but sayingly, it was conveyed that it was an emergency.

Talk to the Imperial Capital so they can get back to the dragon figure.

I whipped my heavy body and got on its back.

Silan, who still won't wake up, left it to Robbia, and Lily held the refrain.

It's heartbreaking to leave Malvina like this, but if she thought of her family that much, she'd tell her to go now.

I vowed to make sure I was buried after everything was over, and I left immediately.

"Your husband. If you get some rest."

It takes a lot of time to get to the capital.

Lily called, but shook her neck to the side.

"Before we do that, we need to reach everyone in the capital."

"That's... yeah, you're right"

Lily nods and asks.

"Is the magic tool of long-range communication safe?

"Just give me a minute. - Oh, it's okay, it's not broken."

It wasn't weird if it was broken in the aftermath of the fight, so I stroked my chest down on this.

"Good for you. Now we can get in touch."

"Oh. I couldn't answer Kato's call earlier. I'm sure you're worried..."

I was about to tell you, I cut the word.

Seriously gaze at the magic tools of the retrieved long-range communication.

I was hooked.

"Your husband?

……

It was just after Kojiro Nakatsuki, the deepest part of the opposite world, revealed his identity.

Apparently, Kato, who was moving in Teito, used a crack in this magical tool of long-range communication to tell me about the existence of a 'connector'.

In that emergency, I couldn't respond to it, and I'm going to do it now - but this was a little odd.

There was a little time, though, while I escaped Kojiro Nakatsuki's hand from then on and fled to this point thanks to Malvina.

It's unnatural that I didn't hear from you again.

"No way, there's something there..."

Senior, can you hear me?

It was precisely at that time that the magic tools of distance communication had delivered their voices.

"Kato?"

"Oh. Good, we're connected."

He sounded relieved from the bottom of his heart.

I was relieved just to expect bad things.

Are you all right?

"Oh. I worried. I was just trying to get in touch. There's something we need to talk about."

"... yeah. This one too."

The voice transmitted is stiff.

There's something we need to talk about.

That was all it was like saying something had happened.

Apparently, the prediction was half hit.

"What happened?

I ask.

I still couldn't seem to rest until I got to the Imperial City.
